Pharmacy Technician

It has been so crazy the last few weeks with school, but I know it will pay off. I'm in school as a pharmacy technician. I've been studying 4-6 hours a day and homework can be pretty long. I haven't forgotten about my blog. I'm just trying to get into my new routine now. I started this past Wednesday at Walgreen's Pharmacy!

I love my new job! People have always told me do what you love and I have finally found it! Oh how I looked forward to going to work! It's so busy, but nice and quiet. Everyone was very nice to me and who doesn't like discounts in a store because you work for them?

So what is it like? Well, I work in the back with all the medications among the shelves. The pharmacist works at the cashier and another tech does the drive thru window. When prescriptions come in I fill them as fast as possible.. six minutes at most.

You will never realize how busy we are back there and how much we have to multitask until you step back there. For me I enjoy it and its so rewarding! I can't wait until Monday now when I go back at nine a.m.

Have a great weekend everyone!

2011 Wild Western Festival

Hey everyone!
So once again I was off on a new adventure! This weekend I got to go back and embrace America's western heritage.

This guy did a show with whips

He had lots of charisma and was awesome!

When I had a chance to take a break I walked around for a bit and took some pictures or I did my homework and studied for my Pharmacy Tech class. Friday and saturday were busy days, but I couldn't believe how busy

Sunday was!

So here is what I got to do on my breaks. Ofcourse I didn't do this, but it would have been fun! It brought back many memories to me when I was a little kid.

$5 to ride a pony

I think it would have been fun to drive this!

 I would get so hungry during the day. I could smell the food from the other side of the park! So there was BBQ, Philly's, Elk and Buffalo Burgers, Indian Fry Bread,  Kettle Corn, Snow cones and plenty of other great stuff!

 I was very happy to see the chocolate covered cheesecake stand! To me it means Christmas is almost here! I alway get one of these at Glendale Glitter's. I'll be working there opening night. Hope to see you there!

These looked really good, but I ended up having indian fry bread, pumkin bread, a green chili burger, a buffalo burger, sweet tea, root beer, and a sub over the weekend while I worked. Yes, I know it's a lot of food. Such a great expirence none the less! I'll have to go on a diet and start running an extra few miles.

The best part of every event that I go to are the vendors that I work with! I always enjoy myself making new friends and learning new things. I even had an oppertunity to work with Javan Baker and had a great time.

Ariel

    Its hard to sell candy such as peanut brittle and a dentist office has a booth set up across from you. Ariel was very nice and pretty cool talking to. She would give kids stickers, coloring packets, and you could brush the horse's teeth with the giant toothbrush.

She made the pumkin bread.

    Oh ya! I almost forgot about javan! He was on the north side of town working at an event called Run With the Bulls. Yes, he did run with them as our mascot representing Tutor Doctor.

Easy target for the bull.

Could I have done something like this? I don't think so. It really would push the limits for me being a daredevil. This weekend was sure to be one that I'll remember. At the end of the day its so nice to get to the car knowing I'm going home.

Can't sleep

'The chicks can't sleep...have you been telling them Colonel Sanders horror stories again?

 So much is on my mind from work, school, and other stuff that I can not sleep at all. Oh what to do...
